A few talented guys can do great stuff working together. I had never seen this before, needless to say, I was impressed.
The guy that taught me to fly, he was a very old school stick and rudder guy, once told told me only an idiot would jump out of a completely good airplane!
I doubt Marty would call these guys idiots.

I wonder why they just don't do more of a HALO style jump (from lower altitude obviously) ? I guess though half of the point is to give fans time to watch you come down in on the field.

Well, it was a "HALO style" jump, technically, although they only seemed to be doing about a five-second delay. But I get what you mean. And realistically, canopy relative work (the stack and then the downplane and whatever some of the others did) is more exciting for spectators on the ground. To them freefall portion is just dots trailing smoke.
Those two doing the downplane held that a LONG time. CRW was fairly new when I was skydiving and I only ever did a couple of simple stacks. But I've pulled tight enough turns to be going vertical like they were, and the ground starts coming up fast even when you're still a couple hundred feet in the air. Those two had me sweating just watching it.
